Manchester United 1-0 Inter Milan: 5 Players who were brilliant for the Red Devils

#1 Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba has been pulling the strings for United in pre-season

Despite all the talk of him leaving this summer, Paul Pogba has hardly looked like a player who wants a move away so far. The Frenchman has been at the heart of everything good at United in pre-season and every time he had the ball at his feet, it looked like he could make things happen. Against Inter Milan too, Pogba was at his prolific best.

Starting beside Matic, who once again had an off day, Pogba orchestrated United’s gameplay until he was substituted in the second half. The Frenchman was massive in the middle of the park, bossing the midfield and bullying the Inter midfielders with ease. His passing was exquisite as always and he almost always found his man with long balls. However, it was his play in the final third that caught the eye.

Pogba toyed with the Inter defense, showing fantastic ball control. He was a menace during the counter-attacks, threading in through balls that kept the opposition on their toes. Only some poor finishing from United’s forward players stopped the Red Devils from taking the lead in the first half. Pogba was the pick of the players once again and United should hold on to him with all their might.
